When my husband, Bobby, and I got married, almost 21 years ago, I was a different person. I was a perfectionist with a streak of anal retentiveness mixed with a huge helping of anxiety and worry. If things weren’t perfect…if I wasn’t perfect it was a tragedy.
Fast forward 21 years and I have changed…for the better, I think. I no longer get stressed out if I’m not early to a function. I can let myself go to bed with the kitchen in disarray. I can enjoy just relaxing while the house is in chaos. I have mastered what Bobby tells me is the Italian way: The Sweetness of Doing Nothing.
So, tonight, when Owney was barking and wouldn’t stop. And Bobby was watching a political something-or-other on his phone. And I was trying to write an engaging and entertaining blog, I was reminded that it is alright to just relax. I even had a chance to pet Owney between barking spells.
Nothing profound to say. No great insights to give. Just a little bit of encouragement to you to take a breath and savor a moment. There is enough stuff to focus on after your short break–like subscribing to my blog!
